After listening to hours of the different BP podcasts, I decided to just go ahead and join so I can have more community for guidance and learning and moving towards my first deal.

You’re already way ahead by getting started young—keep going!

The big opportunity here is creating a scenario where both parties come out ahead, especially in situations where the seller might otherwise walk away with little or no proceeds.If you’re considering moving forward with this kind of structure, I’d be happy to assist with running the numbers or exploring funding options to make it happen.

@Fareen E.Great question, and it’s excellent that you’re thinking ahead about this scenario.

RM-4.5 zoning would allow for a higher unit count and could provide more flexibility for future development, regardless of ADU policy changes.One potential benefit of rezoning before any citywide expansion is that it might allow you to lock in additional density rights ahead of any potential restrictions or revisions the city could impose when expanding the program.

Builders can offer those crucial incentives, and the homes themselves often come with modern features and energy-efficient designs that make them even more appealing to buyers.Looking ahead, it’s clear that new-home sales will remain a bright spot in the housing market.

Go to some meetings ahead of applying, talk to the members of the board and ask questions if you have any.

If I were to rent both sides I would come up ahead $250 after all expenses.

Hi Delroy,Congrats on your 2-flat purchase—exciting times ahead!

That's a great way to learn from others who are in the same boat or farther ahead of your curve.
